- benj111 4y agoFair? Every politician ever says they're tough on crime, and this basically turns judges into politicians. I don't want a judge that's tough on crime, I want a judge that's impartial. I want a judge judging a case purely on its merits, not with one eye on the upcoming election, and what's popular with voters. I don't know how it's done elsewhere. Probably selection by peers, some kind of veto from the government? You need someone capable of assessing the quality of someone's judgements. The general public ain't it.
